Emporio Armani Chronograph Black Stainless Steel Watch and Bracelet Set
Ref. AX7163SET
Sits in Emporio Armani’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Emporio Armani watches we list, which start at £90.
Price range £90 to £399 across 344 Emporio Armani watches in stock.The all-black approach here is thorough rather than token — PVD coating on both the case and bracelet, black baton indices against a sunray dial that shifts tone as the light moves across it, and sub-dials that are visible without interrupting the overall darkness of the face. At 44mm it fills a larger wrist without overwhelming it, and 11mm of thickness means it sits flush rather than proud under a sleeve. The set pairs the watch with a matching black chain bracelet, giving both pieces the same surface treatment and making the combination read as considered. The deployant clasp handles daily wear tidily, with the safety release keeping it secure.

Learn more about Emporio Armani
Giorgio Armani launched Emporio Armani in 1981 as a younger, more accessible line beneath the main label. Watches followed under licence, and since 2000 they have been produced by Fossil Group, which holds the manufacturing and distribution rights.
The watches are fashion accessories rather than horological objects, and the house does not claim otherwise. Movements are bought-in quartz and Japanese automatic calibres, cased in designs that follow the clothing line's aesthetic: muted palettes, clean dials, and a preference for restraint over ornament.
That restraint is the appeal. Where much of the licensed-fashion category reaches for size and shine, Emporio Armani generally does not, and the better references in the line are quietly proportioned watches at prices well under the Swiss entry point.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
22mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its highest recorded price. It's ranged between £179 and £239, today it's £239.
